Bummer.

You can still buy bitcoin though, just wait for the next dip and get right in.

Teenie weenie murders.

What strikes me about these stories is that the defense is always some flavor of ‘tradition’, but seeing that something like this could entail changes in secular law in order to right an obvious wrong was a nice surprise on a dreary Monday morning.

During the War on Terror, there was a much-publicized fact that your own household furnishings were much more likely to kill you than terrorist.

Amazing.

The fediverse requires more effort.

This is an important point.

When the new trade deals materialize in a year and a half or so, precipitated by the chaos Donald created, the US will find its economic power diminished. The evident unreliability of the US and its governing system is not going to be ignored by the rest of the world when China is waiting in the wings and demonstrating a firm commitment to business.

Crawling into bed early in the evening with a glass of wine and a good book.

This is more like about people accepting what’s given, and not even trying to do more. We all are a failure.

I don’t know how often you get out into the world, but I run into people doing little pieces of good all the time. Those little pieces of good don’t grab headlines, but for most, that’s all the power they really have to make change. The same was true in Nazi Germany, with many people whose names didn’t survive (because they couldn’t give their real names) doing little pieces of good to help save lives.

You’re welcome to your misanthropic and self-critical views, but respectfully, I won’t have that put on me. If you feel like a failure in this fascist world, it’s time to find the little pieces of good you’re able to do on your block.

This is your ass.

That is your ass on roller derby. If you want a great butt, get to skating.

I’ve never donated, as this is Israel, and they’re killing people who try to get aid in. I’m pretty sure the money goes nowhere.

You can’t put this on me.

I’m powerless to do anything meaningful to stop this, and you are too unless you’re the president of the United States or a billionaire. At the very least, I didn’t vote for the two ruling parties who made it all possible, but most can’t say that. For 99% of voters, supporting genocide wasn’t a red line.

You’re not wrong.

The only time we see Democrats pretend to be leftist is when they have no meaningful power to enact change. They’re conservatives in sheep’s clothing.
